Answer Hey Ed..
To my knowledge no he didn't ever take lessons.As a child he would sit around with family memeber at get-to-gethers and listen to his dad and uncles play guitar and various instruments.Around 10 he picked up the guitar and statred playing his favorite songs as a youth he had listened to.In addition to learning his own,,one talent he had was being able to play a song by ear,many times after only hearing it once.
His voice he was just blessed with.He was into rap,hip-hop,punk and of course reggae,,and he learned the vocal inflections needed to learn those styles.of coursehaving a good voice makes it all that much easier,,and as we've heard in his music,,he not only learned to sing reggae,,he exceled at it.
